A white cassock is a long, ankle-length garment typically worn by clergy in various Christian denominations. It is often associated with the Roman Catholic Church, where it symbolizes purity and the commitment to a religious life. The cassock is usually made of lightweight fabric and can be worn over other clothing. In addition to its use in religious settings, the white cassock may also be worn during special ceremonies, such as baptisms or confirmations. It is often paired with other liturgical garments, such as a stole or surplice, to complete the clerical attire.
